CONTROLS:

  • Arrows = Move player left/right/crouch
  • Z = Kick
  • X = Fire laser - when you get the gun at Level 3
    • (Hold for a few seconds and release to create a defence shield)

  • ENTER = Menu

    • (Theoretically!)
  • Several classes of enemies to survive from:
    • Water tentaclesDon't linger too long next to the pool!
    • WormsIf they sting you, it's game over!

Great game, remember the great gameplay and the atmophere of the orginal game. An amazing little game to play when you dont have a lot of time to play, simple, efficient and very well done. Thanore the art is great!

Thanks a lot for your kind words - glad you enjoyed it! 😊

everybody leaves chill comments below, when me is raging and leaving with a bad mood after stage 10. impossible.

Ha! You probably don't wanna see this screenshot of @asobitech reaching Wave 22 then! :D
(Don't ask me how he did it - da boyz got skillz!)

Today I played Another World on PS4. Yours is really well done. I am always surprised by what it is possible to do using PICO. I am an Unity user, but sometimes it seems to me that I should try PICO - just for fun. Thank you for this game. I wish you the best ++

Thank you very much. I love the original so much (played it a lot in the 90's), but the new/remastered version is really great too - gives it a new lease of life!
I can wholeheartedly recommend PICO-8, it's just so much fun - and also great for prototyping.
Also, please don't judge its capabilities on this game - as I used only a quarter of the resolution available, because it was entered into a #LOWREZJAM.
If you do decide to give PICO-8 a go - feel free to reach out to me, or any others in the #pico8 community on Twitter, or the official forum/BBS.
All the best

Ok. Thank you for your advice. I start today :)
